Motion control was the talk of the town at E3 2009 when both Sony and Microsoft went official in with their plans to challenge Nintendo and the Wii in that space. SCEA has now solidified those plans with a release window as well as another bit of news about the peripheral.

The peripheral will be released worldwide in the fall of 2010. This piece of the puzzle isn’t that big of a shock. Where things do get interesting is the fact that the Motion Controller (tentative name) will require the PlayStation Eye for use. Whether the unit is released as a standalone for consumers who currently have the Eye Toy or if there will be a bundle that includes both peripherals to lessen the cost for those who don’t, this does open up the possibility that the total cost of ownership for the Motion Controller may be higher than previously thought. We’ll have more as it breaks.
